because of the hole in the ozone layer caused by air pollution. [6] This pollution traps heat around the Earth thus causing global warming. [7] Smog is one of the forms of air pollution and one of its main components is sulfur dioxide. Although it causes acid rain it also is able to keep sunlight out of the Earth maintaining it cool. Thus reducing smog is actually helping even more the global warming as it lets more sunlight go through and gets trapped thanks to the pollution. [7] Some of the other

In contrast‚ coal-fired plants produce close to 2 billion tons of carbon dioxide every year in the U.S. alone while also emitting lots of other pollution: soot that causes lung diseases; sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides that cause smog and acid rain; and mercury that contaminates fish. In fact‚ coal kills 4000 times as many people as nuclear power‚ according to one analysis. 2) It is possible to generate a high amount of electrical energy in one single plant. 3) This technology
